The website Gawker on Friday posted the archives from “Journolist,” the private listserv involving hundreds of journalists that was at the center of an Andrew Breitbart-stoked controversy in 2010.
Gawker’s Hamilton Nolan said the website obtained the archives from the hacker Guccifer, who accessed into both the Bush family’s private emails and Colin Powell’s Facebook page earlier this year.
After excerpts of Journolist were leaked, many conservatives insisted that it vindicated their longstanding suspicion of a liberal media bias. Breitbart tried to buy the full archives, and the ensuing outcry cost Dave Weigel — now with Slate — his job at the Washington Post.
Gawker has posted the archives here.
